Geraniums

Hi Wouter - you've put some nice photos on the Cranesbill page. Can you say what species they are? To me they look more like Pelargoniums than Cranesbills and I wonder if you could have been led astray by the confusion of common name and genus with geranium? seglea 05:04, 29 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Licence for Image

Hi Wouter, Im Igelball ↗ from German Wikipedia. The Image thumb|Quercus suberWH ↗ I had put at the German Wikipedia. Please can you write which Licence it have (GFDL or Public Domain). Thank You!
:This image also needs licence information :Image:Viburnum opulus.jpg ↗. Thanks --nixie 08:52, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

:Also, :Image:Actinidia.jpg ↗ needs license information. --Ricky81682 (talk ↗) 21:05, Dec 19, 2004 (UTC)

Statue in Rethymno

Sorry it has taken so long for a reply, but I've been searching around and asking, and unfortunately I have not been able to find any information about the statue. I'll keep looking however. <sub>'''El Greco'''</sub><sup>(talk)</sup> 21:14, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Analytic Hierarchy Process

Thank you VERY MUCH for establishing this Commons category and linking it to the Wikipedia article on AHP ↗. I've uploaded some other AHP-related media, and now I can put 'em in a category. You are doing valuable work. Lou Sander (talk) 16:54, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Dirty Projectors

Hi! Thanks for adding an image to the Dirty Projectors ↗ page. Unfortunately, the image you posted is not of the same Dave Longstreth ↗ that is in the band. (You can do a Google search to see what Dave Longstreth looks like.) Therefore I've deleted the picture you added to the page.

No hard feelings though. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia, and good luck in your future endeavours.

Hi Wouterhagens, thank you for adding the picture of Ronald J. Ross to my article. This article's purpose is still hampered by a disclaimer that it was "written by someone close to the subject". I would like this removed. First of all, I am neither related or paid by the subject, he was someone I was acquainted with nearly 30 years ago, and the article itself is a rather dry and objective commentary focused on the subject's provable accomplishments. How can I get this disclaimer removed from the article? <small class="autosigned">— Preceding unsigned ↗ comment added by Raffyross (talk • contribs ↗) 15:46, 8 March 2017 (UTC)</small>

Question

Why would you add a photo to the article ↗ if you weren't sure of who the person in the photo was? DS (talk) 18:35, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
:Photos that have no category in Wikimedia Commons are usually untraceable by third parties and are lost for further use. When there is an article on a Wikipedia where such a photo can possibly be used, I try to check through the references whether it is the right person. In this case, the official website no longer exists and is for sale. I do not use Twitter and Facebook. When I post the photo without "PLEASE check .." chances are that others will accept it as correct and use it that way. Those who contributed to the article will find it easier than me to see if the photo is the right person or not and adjust the accompanying text. Often they are happy that a photo is added to the article. I hope that this answers you question. Wouterhagens (talk) 19:23, 26 December 2020 (UTC)
::Have you checked on archive.org ↗? DS (talk) 00:03, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
:::No. When you can figure it out, go ahead. As I said, it is often very easy for those who wrote the text of the article to tell if the photo represents the right person. I put a page like this on my watchlist until it is clear about the photo. If it is correct I can change the category of the photo and add it on the wikidata page. Wouterhagens (talk) 10:27, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
I'd also like to ask you to stop adding images in situations like this. The image you added to Jesse Walters ↗, which is clearly not of Jesse Walters, remained in the article for <s>five and a half years</s> five months. Your expectation that others will clean up after you might hold on some prominent articles, but is not reasonable in the context of more obscure topics. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 12:46, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Request edit template

Hi Wouterhagens, I noticed that you added Template:Request edit ↗ to a bunch of articles asking about photos. The request edit template is for users who have a conflict of interest ↗ with the subject of the article, either as a paid contributor ↗ or because they know the subject personally. Do you have a conflict of interest with these people? If you do, you must declare it on the article talk page, perhaps underneath your original message (you don't need to say how you know the person, just that you have a COI with them). Alternatively, you can make the declaration on your user page. See WP:DISCLOSE ↗ for more details. If you do not have a COI, can you remove the templates? If you have any questions, please post below (and ping me if you want). Thanks and happy editing! Z1720 (talk) 20:39, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
:{{re|Z1720}} I did this on advice of {{re|Arch dude}} given in :Wikipedia:Help_desk#Adding_an_image_to_an_article ↗. If I should do it different, please tell me how. Thanks Wouterhagens (talk) 20:59, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">48px|alt=|link= ↗</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article ''':Chah Bardi, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad ↗''' is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines ↗ or whether it should be deleted ↗.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chah Bardi, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad ↗ until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Since you added an image to the article of the putative village, the information in the image will need to be double-checked. Based on geocoordinateds of this putative settlement, we think the actual name of the village shown is probably Sar Peri ↗. –<b style="color:#77b">Laundry</b><b style="color:#fb0">Pizza</b><b style="color:#b00">03</b> (<span style="color:#0d0">d</span><span style="color:#0bf">c̄</span> ↗) 00:40, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
